California is home to approximately 187,000 people. But for every resident of the homeless, there may be a concerned parent, siblings or offspring, wondering where their beloved person is, whether in danger and how they develop on the street.

It also helps people track family members and since 2017 the non -profit organization has arranged more than 115 of these types of events. Lifemoves, another non -profit purpose, also offers unification services in 17 of its homeless shelters of the Silicon Valley.

Feders freeze green money
As part of President Donald Trump’s goal to take $ 20 billion back to fund climate and green energy, the administration frozen $ 250 million for non -profit grants This helps to provide electric trucks in two main ports in southern California, writes Calmatters’ Alejandro LazoS
Former President Joe Biden Fund for reducing greenhouse gases awarded grants to non -profit organizations, banks and other groups. This included $ 250 million in Climate United, offering affordable leasing contracts for electric trucks to small fleets and separate trucks serving ports in Los Angeles and Long Beach. For years, communities living near ports have been confronted with harmful vapors from trucks traveling through the ports.
But the money, which would fund about 500 electric trucks, were frozen by the US Environmental Protection Agency. In March, Lee Zeldin, the agency’s administrator, said the Green Energy Grant Program was “full of self -division and wasteful costsS “
The climate groups are tried for frozen money, arguing that the federal agency and the bank, which owns the money, Citibank, illegally retain the money that Congress has already appropriated.

For two Republican MPs, The battle against the housing owners’ associations has not endedS
Last week, a bill that would require approximately 50,000 private associations of homeowners in California or HOA, be more transparent With their decisions and programs for a meeting, they failed their first hearing of the committee.
The bill is the author of GoP AssemblyMember Carl Demaio of San Diego, but due to a planning conflict with a radio hosting concert, his colleague Joe Paterson Rocklin presented the measure during the hearing.
Patterson has grip with his own Hoa: He said Hoa wanted to add more landscaping around his home, which he made and that his Hoa sent an announcement that this did not approve of his son’s basketball hoop. Patterson said the “clean harassment” he receives from his Hoa is the reason why he has a large black flag in his legislative office, which reads “Define Hoa.”
Four other democratic MPs voted at Patterson to advance the bill, including the chairman of the committee, but that was not enough to pass. Demeyo said he would support Patterson’s plan to introduce the bill next year.
